FN-Fal 7.92×33 second version

With the last post we made on the 7.92×33 FN-FAL we showed a FAL that had a new ejector block and magazine made to allow the rifle to shoot 7.92×33. This post will show a different approach to reach the same conclusion, shooting 7.92×33. This series of photographs comes from another friend of Gun Lab and how he converted his rifle to use MP-44 magazines.

This version the owner cut down the receiver by 0.900 and welded support plates to enlarge the magazine housing.

He also put a side rail on it for a scope. You can also see the flapper magazine release for the MP-44 magazines.

What are you needing to barrel to 7.92×33. A friend of mine uses 98 Mauser barrels and adds a sleeve to bring it up to size. Other people have used Madsen 8mm barrels. Another good choice is MG-13,34 or 42 barrels or even the machine gun barrels from Sarco in 8×63. Hope this helps.
